“What would you like to tell fellow students about the Writing Center?”

After each session, we ask students this question in an online survey. Here are some of the responses making us blush this month.

March 2015

I had such a weak background with writing papers. I tried my best to avoid having a class with a paper involved but I was never able to have that happen. So I made the choice of coming to the writing center to help me gain better writing abilities. I’ve been working with a consultant for about 2 years now at Baruch and every session I have with her definitely increases my writing skills. The paper I’ve been working on over my past sessions this semester, we were able to see my how much my writing has improved since I first began working on writing better. I use writing skills that I’ve never had before and it definitely pays off.

The consultant helped me discover and improve a pattern of my mistakes. He really helps you improve your writing not just your paper and encourages whatever right thing you are doing. Over all, he was very patient, kind and fun to work with. As a person who runs away from writing essays, I feel confident about my paper now and I would love to have a professor helpful as him.

The writing center is the best program Baruch run so far, or I have seen. Students have to be well prepare before going at writing center. Students would get great feedback from writing consultants if they did most of the work before visit the writing center.

Yes, definitely, they are helpful and insightful. It is always refreshing to have a second point of view especially since they are experienced writers themselves.
